Above the Clouds
About us
From Scotland to Northwest Georgia
McLemore Resort has a reputation for being a destination rooted in rich, vibrant history with stories to share. Cloudland adds to the story by weaving McLemore’s history with exceptional hospitality to provide a premier luxury hotel experience with a foundational respect for the natural world around us.
McLemore Resort
Cloudland is perched at the gateway of McLemore, a master-planned mountaintop community located atop Lookout Mountain in the heart of northwest Georgia. McLemore Resort boasts world-class golf courses, fine dining plus a diverse palette of outdoor activities to enjoy in surroundings of breathtaking natural beauty.
At 2,300 feet above sea level, McLemore rests an easy two-hour drive from Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham, Huntsville, and Knoxville. It’s close enough for an easy drive and far enough to feel a world away.
McLemore’s motto, “Above the Clouds” is as much a state of mind as it is a special place on the mountain. It’s an escape from the rigors of work and life that recharges and refreshes like nowhere else in the world.
The McLemore name
McLemore is named in honor of John McLemore, whose father, Charles, arrived in the area from Scotland sometime in the early 18th century. It was here that Charles was reported to have married a local Cherokee princess named “Quatsy Wolf” and raised two sons, Robert and John. Fluent in both English and Cherokee, John McLemore was a minor chief of the Cherokees and also served as a Captain in the U.S. Army where he fought in the War of 1812 and the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814.
Today, McLemore is a mountaintop home to an exclusive private residential community, membership club, and expansive destination resort. Its golf courses are among the top 100 in the world.
